Ms DD Posted November 10, 2006 Salaam Aaliyah How are you? I hear someone was looking for you at the chatroom It is always nice to dress conservatively whilst looking professional. I feel so proud when i see a sister wearing her hijab and dressed accroding to her deen. It brings warmth to my heart. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nafta Posted November 10, 2006 Ibtisam, I would advice you to visit your nearest Top Shop and book an appoinment with their Style Advisor. A friend had a session with them recently after looking and finding nothing for an upcoming wedding. It's free (the appointment, not the clothes!) and you can choose from a selection of outfits/shoes/assecories she fishes out for you according to your style/height/hair colour etc etc. Give them a looksie if you're running out of options or don't have the time to browse shops endlessly. G'Luck P.S. if you still have your student/nus card you can get a discount of 10 or 15 % too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Lily- Posted November 11, 2006 I suggest a well tailored suit. Perhaps a 3 quarter length skirt with matching jacket and nice knee length leather boots. There are many sophisticated ones out there for the autumn season, try Wallis or Principles. Good luck and congrats. P.S. Is it just me or does anyone wear a dress for their graduation unless it is in summer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted December 4, 2006 Nafta: I tried the stylist at topshop, It was so funny, seriously it was the most funniest experience in ages. Lets just say nothing fitted me, too tight, too loose, too short, too long, to dull and very strange looks to say the least. Maybe I’m just not experimental enough, I was horrified as some of her suggestions! Lool. Water: I think I just might, I have one WEEK to find an outfit, lool. Camabro i like the blue number, where is that available? Thanks everyone else much appreciated!. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted December 4, 2006 Ah, I was going to ask how it went, but it seems it's yet to happen. One of my colleagues had her graduation last week. She came back to the office the next day, with hair down to her ar$e (weave I assumed) and fake lashes on. Well, hello! The poor man's Beyonce? Do people really go to all that effort?

Ibtisam Posted December 4, 2006 ^^^^loooool Most people do. My family told me in the weekend they were not coming coz they are going on holiday instead! so i might even go really, and they have sent us our qualifications by post already. SO might just save my money instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheherazade Posted December 4, 2006 Oh, go. Your family didn't sit the darn exams did they? Take somebody else along. Make the family green with pics that will rival their holiday snaps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beeteljuice Posted December 5, 2006 umm jeans and a nice shirt with stilleotos no one is gonna see the underneath your wearing a gown Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ameen Posted December 5, 2006 Cambaro, those are nice dresses for a Muslimah...you got to share the info...so I can prove to my little sister that a hijab does not remove your beauty, but only adds to it. She is only seven, but its never too early to look out for her right? so where can I get something her size, in those dresses? And Allah knows best Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king_450 Posted December 6, 2006 simple topic but hard to give an advise. Who you trying to impress i hope it is you,if it is you then be comfortable whatever pleases you. why not wear for a change dharkaaga hidaha iyo dhaqanka so this can show your culture and be proud of it. Good luck and congrat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
